Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that LG OLED TVs are about to receive a major upgrade when in fact it's only webOS software updates. Secondly, the author states that fixes and upgrades will be coming to webOS but fails to mention any specific issues with the platform or how these updates will address them. Thirdly, the article mentions that LG announced its webOS Re:New program in January but does not provide any details on what this program entails or when it was launched. Lastly, the author states that once you upgrade to webOS 23 beta, you won't be able to revert back to an older version of software which is misleading as users may have no choice but to wait for the official update.
